Phased Development Plan
| Phase | Objective | Features | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 (MVP) | Build core features | API Catalog, Change Detection Engine, Smart Alerts | Weeks 1-8 |
| Phase 2 | Enhance features and add Impact Analysis | Impact Analysis, Team Dashboard | Weeks 9-16 |
| Phase 3 | Scale and refine | Optimize Change Detection Engine, enhance UI | Weeks 17-24 |
Feature Prioritization Framework
Priority Score = (User Value × 0.4) + (Business Value × 0.3) + (Ease of Build × 0.3)
| Feature | User Value | Business Value | Ease of Build | Priority Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| API Catalog | 8 | 9 | 6 | 8.1 |
| Change Detection Engine | 9 | 9 | 8 | 8.8 |
Technical Implementation Strategy
Use Python for the backend, with Flask as the web framework. Utilize a MySQL database for storing API information and changelog data. Implement the Change Detection Engine using a combination of web scraping and machine learning techniques.
